“Industry survivors to date have done something right, and today’s leaders will thrive long term, even if not evident in a depressed backdrop,” the analysts added.
They explained that the market often struggles to predict and model innovation, “but firms with deep experience and technical differentiation have an edge skating to where the puck is going, finding new avenues of revenue growth and diversification,” just as Amazon executed on over the past two decades.
“Coinbase is still quite early into its journey, but we see many of the same attributes in the firm’s story and mentality as were present in Amazon decades ago,” the analysts stated. “We believe Coinbase has the potential to become one of the few network winners in an industry we expect to grow exponentially from here.”
